Mayoral candidate Mitzie Hunter unveiled a plan Monday that would see the city bolster library services in a number of ways.
The former education minister was outside a library in Parkdale this morning to unveil her four-point plan for libraries. It would see libraries create more safe places for young people by opening 16 new youth hubs to complement the existing 24. The hubs would offer drop-in spaces for teens after school and in the summer.
Hunter said her plan would cost just over $29 million over two years and would draw from the Public Library IT Asset Replacement Reserve Fund and the Library Development Charge Reserve Fund. “I certainly bring a fresh set of eyes and a new perspective, new solutions,” Hunter said. “You know, I haven't been a city councillor or police chief. I really bring different experience to bear locally.”, put out a tweet Sunday praising her as a “hand-on leader.”
